Disclaimer: I am ridiculously proud of this post. I feel like a legit “health and wellness” blogger when I read it, and I know that these recipes are not only diverse and delicious, but totally realistic when it comes to people who want low-cal meals full of flavor and convenience(without feeling like diet food). I appreciate you reading, and I’d REALLY appreciate your feedback via comments/shares/links/reposts/emails to SeeSondraSlim@gmail.com!

If you’re anything like me, you want to eat healthier.

Really, I do. Truly. I have goals to meet in the weight/healthiness department! And when I work a 12 hour day, it’s not always easy to come home and whip up a quick, healthy, and delicious dinner. These are the three pre-requisites for any item I will consume, after all! With that in mind, I have come up with a few “Quick and Easy” dinner (or lunch) recipes for those of you who find yourself in the same predicament! I have calculated the calories, fat, carbs, fiber, sodium, and protein for each recipe.

Each recipe makes one (1) serving(2 for my small stomach…leftovers!), unless otherwise noted. These would be awesome recipes for vacation too, for those of you who stay somewhere with a kitchen/kitchenette!

Quick and Easy Thai Peanut Chicken

What you need:

1 tbsp. crunchy peanut butter

3 “dashes” of low-sodium soy sauce

1/4 tsp minced garlic (I have a giant Costco jar for these situations)

1 1/2 cups frozen tri-color bell pepper and onion mix (Trader Joe’s! Or Fresh and Easy! A must have for any freezer!)

1 package fettuccine alfredo frozen entrée (this is the simple version. I HATE alfredo, so I just make noodles ahead of time. But for the sake of the masses, I calculated this adaptation. You can use Lean Cuisine, Michellina’s or Healthy Choice…etc)

1 package Santa-Fe style rice and bean frozen or packaged dinner (Check out the rice aisle. I buy the Uncle Ben’s version in a similar flavor for less than 2 dollars…it’s stored in pantry and cooks in microwave in a minute!)

Microwave rice side dish according to package instructions, then stir into beef mixture. Simmer on low for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top with cilantro just before serving. (If you’re not too worried about adding a few cals, add a sprinkle of crumbly queso fresco, or grated cheddar or Monterey jack cheese!)

Prep time is about 5 mins (see a pattern here?), and cook time is 15 minutes

I am kicking myself for not taking photos when I made these originally, but I guess I never really thought about sharing them until earlier today when I was thinking about the Pesto and Sundried Tomato Green Beans recipe I had originally planned on sharing. My bad. I will eventually post that one as well, but I came across my notebook with these and got more excited at the idea for this post!

I really hope these recipes spark your curiosity, and get you excited to hit the kitchen and try them!

Any thoughts or suggestions…send them my way!

So many exciting plans are in the works for SeeSondraSlim….I am getting more and more excited for post-op recovery, because I’ll be able to devote more time to some of the SeeSondraSlim YouTube review videos I plan to do with my BuluBox and other products I’ll use in upcoming recipes and such! I am also hoping to do a post-op mini photo-shoot featuring my new swimsuit collection.

Excited is an understatement!!!

That’s all for now, but I’ll be back before you know it. Can’t wait to share more!
